It's important for us to pay attention to the design of our multimedia when utilizing it in instructional practices because the design of the multimedia being used directly correlates to how well the learner will process and learn the information presented.  It is hard to choose just one of the design principals as being the most important because I think that they work together to help the design and the learning process.  I would say that the signaling principal is important for larger chunks of text and for older students, as well as for rich informational text.  The segmenting principal is definitely important as well, especially for me because I am working with younger learners who have shorter attention spans.  As educators, I think it's important to pay attention to all of these design principals.  I think that some lend more toward older learners or learning that is rich in information and terminology.  Personally as a 2nd grade teacher, I would probably focus on the segmenting principal, redundancy principal, pre-training principal, and modality principal.  The segmenting principal helps young learners who have shorter attention spans really take in the information more efficiently. The redundancy and modality principals are important because much of the text and learning in this age is digital, so making sure students aren't distracted by animation, narration, and text is important. I have found that students really do learn better from animation and narration. If students are reading a text, it is helpful for them to be able to listen to it as well. I think as primary educators, we have always practiced the pre-training principal. We often go over vocabulary words and may review key terms or words that we know students might have difficulty with before reading text.

It's important to pay attention to the design of our multimedia because we need to be aware of how students process and transfer information. The segmenting principle is the most important in my opinion because students need to process the information in chunks which can allow students to focus their attention better.

It is important to pay attention to the design of multimedia so that it fits the needs of all learners. Incorporating audio, visuals, video, and written content allows students of all learning styles to retain the information in a way that works best for them. The segmenting principle allows learners to gather information in smaller more managable portions.

Students learn better when lessons are clear and properly paced.  Poor lesson design can be a detriment to the learning process.  The pre-training principle is the most important, as it helps students focus their attention on the key concepts.

It is important for us to pay attention to the way we design and use multimedia because we want to enhance the experience the students are having instead of keeping it the same but putting it on the computer, etc.
I agree with what most people are saying about coherence being an important principle. I also think segmenting is important and can be used to help students who have trouble focusing for long periods of time.

It comes down to knowing the student(s) and providing the best design for their learning style (behaviorist, cognitive, constructivist).  Coherence is probably most important in my opinion because if it doesn't make sense to look at, how can we expect someone to learn from it?

It is important to consider your learners and their needs and also to the teaching approach for each lesson.
The Coherence Principle is seems important to me.  Viewers can not process content if slides are overloaded and undesireable to view.

Design is important in every aspect of lesson design, including the design of multimedia.   By paying attention to design of multimedia, you can maximize engagement, coherence of information, and student learning.

I think I also would agree that the coherence principle is probably the most important. With all learners, but especially school-age learners, extraneous information is distracting and clutters the message.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to pay attention to the design of our multimedia so students can learn best. We want to use multimedia effectively and appeal to different types of learners. All the design principles are important but the one I feel is really important is the coherence principle. As educators we need to make sure students are focusing on  the information we want them to learn and we should leave out  other information that is not really needed.

It is important to pay attention when creating multimedia projects because you want the reader to be able to process the information efficiently. I think the most important principle is coherence. When students present projects in class that is always one of the biggest issues I see when they create powerpoints. It is important to keep your powerpoint slides clean and simple so the reader doesn't get confused, give up, and become uninterested. We should pay close attention to temporal principle to keep a good balance between audio/video and text.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important for us to pay attention to the design of our multimedia because it is the teacher's task to appeal to the needs of all students.  Students learn differently, so on-screen text, narration, videos, etc. could benefit some students but may not benefit others. When the teacher incorporates a variety of multimedia tools, he/ she is more likely to accommodate for a variety of learners. I think the coherence principle is most important because it's important for the students to focus on the most important information, rather than the less important information.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important for us to pay attention to the design of our multimedia so the learner gets the most out of the content in order to be able to transfer the information. I think the most important design principle is coherence because it is important to not overload the learner with extraneous information! It is most beneficial for the learner to receive concise information. As an educator, we should keep this principle in mind, along with signaling in order to help guide the learner towards the most important information.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to draw the attention to the important information that is trying to be delivered clearly. Educators need to display the information in multiple ways (multimedia) so the display of the information needs to be thought through first. I think the most important principles are coherence and segmenting. To me they go hand-in-hand. Coherence only displays the most important information and segmenting chunks the information to help the student read it at their pace.

It is important to pay attention to our design because we need to be designing lessons that will most benefit our students. These practices remind us of the things we need to consider when designing our multimedia. I think that all of the principles are important as they all stress different aspects of the learner's brain. If I had to pick a most important one, I would choose segmenting. By not overloading students with information, they are able to stay engaged in the lesson and not shut down from what is being thrown at them.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important for us to pay attention to the design so they are the most effective for instruction. I believe that coherence is the most important because you do not want to overload students. If there is too much going on then they will not be able to dive into the information being presented.

# data[].attributes.body
It is imperative that we look at the design of multimedia being used in the classroom. Through practical design students can learn more information. I believe that segmenting is the most important design principle because the students can become overwhelmed when given a large amount of information. Through segmenting the students have smaller bits of information to comprehend at any given moment.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important for us to pay attention to our design so that our students can have the most beneficial learning experience. Many of them are important; I think the most important may be different based on different topics. I think signaling is one of the most important ones.

# data[].attributes.body
As educators, we want to maximize learning by providing appealing and practical multimedia for learners. I think as educators the most misused and the most important principle is the Redundancy Principle. Many of us create multimedia with audio, video, and images that convey the same idea.

# data[].attributes.body
Multimedia can be confusing if it is not used in the correct way. Students can become distracted and not get the most important concept from the lesson if we as educators over do or under do a multimedia presentation. Multimedia allows us to incorporate various learning styles reaching multiple students learning pathways.

I think the most important is segmenting. I believe that not giving students to much information at one time is crucial. To much information all at one time leads to confusion.

It is important to pay attention to the designs of multimedia because children all learn differently; therefore, the instructor needs to understand how the children in the classroom learn the best. Howard Garner's multiple intelligence can be used when selecting or design multimedia.

I believe that the coherence principle is the most important because so many children have ADD and learning disabilities and when we overstimulate them it makes in harder for them to learn. Students need to be provided with essential information only without clutter or other information impeding their learning.
